Why You Need It
Performance testing validates the speed, scalability, and stability characteristics of the web application under test. The end-to-end process aims to test and determine response times, throughput, and resource-utilization levels against performance requirements. The overarching goal is to improve the experience of the end user.
What's involved?
RTTS' expert performance testing team will collaborate with you to determine your needs and requirements. Once we understand the scope of the application and its environment, we conduct testing of your web applications' scalability and responsiveness, based on a predetermined number of transactions, users, and page views.
At the conclusion of testing, you will receive an extensive report on the findings that include expert-level opinion, root cause analysis, and comprehensive charts that provide "next step" recommendations. Interested in viewing report components?
- Analysis of all user scenarios and transactions run with performance times for each transaction
- Conclusions comparing actual results to desired performance requirements or SLAs
- Performance results for application/web servers, database servers, the network and other components
- Possible courses of action for tuning and optimizing the application and architecture
